Renegade Foot Pedal
The special foot pedal that comes with
your Renegade is an innovation in itself.
Notice the extra switches above the
EFFECTS, REVERB and MAIN 2 push-
buttons. Not only can you turn these func-
tions on and off from the pedal, you can
now assign those features to automatically
work on only CHANNEL 1 or CHAN-
NEL 2 or both channels. Let's use the
EFFECTS section as an example. Suppose
you have an effect in the loop that you
would like to be able to access "on the fly"
regardless of which channel you are play-
ing on. For that you would simply set the
corresponding EFFECTS toggle switch
to the CENTER position. Now when you
step on the pushbutton, the effect will
be on when the LED indicator is on, or
bypassed when the LED is off. Same goes
for Reverb and MAIN 2.
Now the cool part. Here's an example.
You have this nice compressor that sounds
great for the CLEAN CHANNEL but
you don't want it on your OVERDRIVE
CHANNEL. You can simply assign the
EFFECTS LOOP to automatically turn on
when you switch to the CLEAN CHAN-
NEL and turn off automatically on the
OVERDRIVE CHANNEL. Move the little
toggle switch to CH 1 only. Switch the
amp to CHANNEL 1 and press the pedal
pushbutton to turn on the effect.
Now, when you switch channels, the
compressor will be active on CHANNEL
1 only and automatically bypassed when
you switch to CHANNEL 2. You will still
be able to turn the effect on and off on the
CLEAN CHANNEL with the pedal push-
button but it will not be accessible from
the OVERDRIVE CHANNEL. This is just
one example of how useful this feature
can be. Assume you are using a ton of gain
on the OVERDRIVE CHANNEL. You
have some noise issues so you want to use
a gate but only on CHANNEL 2. Simple.
Plug the gate into the loop and set the mini
toggle on the loop section to CHANNEL
2 only. Select CHANNEL 2 on the pedal
and turn on the EFFECTS LOOP.
Now when you switch channels, the
gate will only come on when you go to the
OVERDRIVE CHANNEL. You can do
the same with the Reverb and the MAIN
2 feature. The REVERB should be pretty
self explanatory so I don't think we need
to go over that, right?
The pedal functions the same way
for the REVERB as it does for the EF-
FECTS LOOP. MAIN 2 corresponds to
the knob labeled MAIN 2, which is just
below MAIN 1 on the Renegade front
panel. This is a volume or solo boost level
control that, when switched on, provides a
boost in volume that you can preset with
the MAIN 2 knob. Once again, this is
programmable just like the other func-
tions. What if you never need a solo boost
for your CLEAN CHANNEL but you do
on the OVERDRIVE CHANNEL. Just set
the toggle switch above MAIN 2 to CH 2
only. Switch the amp to CHANNEL 2 and
turn the MAIN 2 function off. Now when
ever you need the solo boost, it will only
work on CHANNEL 2.
